1. Small Teaching
Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning
A practical guide for instructors that distills research on how people learn into small, easily implemented classroom changes. It outlines strategies such as retrieval practice, prediction, spaced learning, interleaving, and fostering connections, showing how brief, low-prep adjustments to class time, assignments, and course design can significantly boost student engagement and retention. Emphasizing incremental improvement over sweeping overhauls, it offers concrete examples and templates that work across disciplines and teaching modalities.
